My great grandparents, William W. Caves and Elizabeth Wright Caves and twelve children moved from Winn Parish Louisiana in 1869 to Cass County (Then known as Davis County) in 1869. They had three more children after moving to Texas. They both died in 1881 and he left a portion of land for a church and cemetery to be erected, which it was in 1886. It is known as Caves Springs Baptist Church, outside of Linden, Texas.

I have been working on my family history (Caves) and have printed out the original story told by my grandmother, Isabell Evelyn Caves in 1938, and have added pictures. I would like to submit this to you but will go to the proper section you have under “Churches”.

I am proud of my heritage and hope you find this of interest.
